Cape to Cali: It’s All Beachy Keen

           Being a Cape Cod beach bum, I was excited about our newly instated tradition of going to the ocean every Saturday.  With the picture of the beaches of home imprinted in my mind – weathered beach houses lining the seashell sprinkled shore, passive bay waves gently washing sea life to the [...]

Take Me To Camp Rock!

Every girl has a little Disney princess in her.  So what, if she’s about to be a senior in college.  As we began our Disney adventure last week with a tour of the entire studio, you could see the kid in everyone light up.  Original sketches of Beauty and the Beast, a library that housed [...]

Surprises Around Every Corner

Being from a small town (Sanibel, FL) and going to school in a smaller town (Elon, NC), I’ve gotten used to being in a quiet setting with not a lot happening. So, it hasn’t quite sunk in for me yet, that in L.A. there is always something going on. You never know what you’ll find [...]

A Rekindled Desire

They are all competing for the attention of the onlookers on the [...]

Cheating Death in Venice

Venice kinda sucks. As Max blogged earlier, there’s too many people, many of whom are homeless. And the parking situation is simply the worst. But we decided to make the most of the 100 degree day by spending it in the water, body-surfing. As I got into the ocean, I realized [...]

Chelsea and Chuy at Barnes & Noble

I’ve never been much of a bookworm, but on Friday night I found myself in line at Barnes and Noble for my first book signing.  Chelsea Handler, comedian and host of the hit E! television show, Chelsea, Lately, showed up at the Grove at 7:30 to answer questions and sign copies of her latest autobiography, [...]

Agoura Hills

On June 21st, I was fortunate enough to attend a pool party with one of my line producers. We had a relatively short day at work, and Shad asked if I wanted to go to a pool party in Malibu. Being the man willing to try anything once, had to go. So, we drove straight [...]
